love can cast her nets
wide catch all stray thoughts
love fleet of foot can run
with freedom within
an entire love struck mind
love ardent takes up residence
within heart mind refuses to leave
image thoughts of beloved
are first thoughts at birth of day
last at days death love fingernail
creeps in red yellow first light
spreading across dawn horizon
may endure a lifetime to become
the glorious blazing sunset of out days

A poem of great depth embellished with great imagery. Liked the captivating title. Love is a fertile ground for Poet's imagination and poetic expressions as viewed in this wonderful well expressed love poem.
I have found it fascinating considering all the types and kinds of love which exist within human society. I once put together a volume of love poems I had written 'Song Of My Love', with poems like 'True Love', contrasting love which endures with love that fades. I rather liked it.

The wonder and power of love is brilliantly depicted by the title alone.
Like a net cast wide to catch a large shoal of fish, love casts her nets wide to catch as many differing facets and experiences of love as possible, which adds differing sentiments tones strengthens and depths to relationships.
